746 [Sowing Seeds]
Many mainland movies have achieved high box office revenue, such as "The Murder of Silver Snake", "The Mysterious Buddha", "The Wrangler", etc., and the box office has exceeded 100 million yuan. However, such films can only show off their might in the mainland and have no market overseas.
The "Shaolin Temple", which caused an international sensation, was actually produced by a Hong Kong film company and filmed by a Hong Kong film director. In principle, it cannot be regarded as a domestic film.
Furthermore, in addition to making 100 million yuan in high box office movies, mainland movies are more movies that cannot even recover the production costs. The number of those movies is quite large, which greatly consumes the factory's funds, making the Changan Film Studio not very profitable in recent years. To be honest, he wanted to film "Red Sorghum" this time, but he did not even approve the funds because the factory had no money.
"In fact, there are many talents in mainland films, coupled with magnificent mountains and rivers, beautiful scenery, and historical and cultural accumulation, making movies is much more convenient than that of our Hong Kong filmmakers." Xia Tian said with a smile, "If you can be like us Hong Kong filmmakers, you can earn tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars just by exporting movies in a year. With so much money, you can do a good job in economic construction. Like the story of "Laojing" you told yesterday, if you have too much money, there will be no such tragedy."
After hearing Xia Tian's words, Zhang Yimou couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
Indeed, if mainland movies do not have policy protection and the market is fully open, they will definitely not be able to compete with Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, let alone European and American blockbusters. They are still full of people but don’t know that the hungry guys are hungry, and they advise others to change to film art films, but they really feel a little bit like talking without any pain in their backs.
"Director Zhang, my movie can be sold for 30 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, and then earn 25 million Hong Kong dollars to Taiwan, earn 50 million Hong Kong dollars to Nanyang, earn 70 million Hong Kong dollars to Japan, and earn 100 million Hong Kong dollars to Europe and the United States..." Xia Tian said with a smile, "I wonder if your mainland art films can have such profits?"
After hearing this, Zhang Yimou was stunned.
